Humans have relied on horses since the dawn of time,
but there is no stronger bond than between a horse and rider on the
battlefield.
Narrated by Ronald F. Maxwell, director of the epic films
Gettysburg and Gods and Generals, Horses of
Gettysburg captures the relationship between soldiers and
their horses.
Filmed in high-definition with charging horses, period photographs
and battlefield panoramas with no "talking heads," this cinematic
documentary tells the story of the estimated 72,000 horses and mules
that fought at the Battle of Gettysburg and uncovers the strategies
employed to ensure that the millions of animals in service with the
North and South remained healthy and well-trained for action. |
